Welcome to Beyond the Chutes, your gateway to the fascinating world of rodeo, hosted by Doug Simcox. In this episode, we dive into the IRA Rodeo News story “Eight in a Van,” written by Wisconsin rodeo cowboy Marty Martins. This tale highlights the adventures of eight cowboys crammed into a Dodge van – the Rob McDonald “Crew”, as they traverse the country during the 4th of July – “Cowboy Christmas” run in 1979. The article shares the rodeos that the cowboys traveled to, how the van was split and then brought back together again – all to maximize their rodeo entries and winnings and reduce travel expenses. Originally featured in the December/January 1980 issue of Rodeo News, the article is brought to life with a striking picture by the great photographer, Tom Woods, a two-time Rodeo News Photographer of the Year.
